My Fair Lady

Based on George Bernard Shaw's 1912 play Pygmalion, MY FAIR LADY will transport audiences to Edwardian London and one of the most beautiful stories ever told about language and clash of cultures. It follows the relationship between Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, and the snobbish and misogynistic Professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, who wagers that he can turn Eliza into a "proper lady" in three months' time. Those who experience MY FAIR LADY will be enchanted by this tale of triumph of the human spirit, as well as the love story that emerges between two unlikely heroes, ultimately joined together by their fascination with the English language.

When the show first opened on Broadway in 1956, starring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews, critics described it as "legendary" and "one of the greatest musicals of the century." MY FAIR LADY went on to win six TONY Awards, and, in 1961, became the longest-running production in Broadway history at that time.

MY FAIR LADY features book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, and includes the classic songs "The Rain in Spain," "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" and "Get Me To The Church On Time." Often called "the perfect musical," MY FAIR LADY is an unforgettable experience with beautiful music and exquisite costumes that will remind theatre-goers as to why musical theater was born.

My Fair Lady will be playing at the MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands.

PLAYtime! Hello Yasmin

Synopsis

When she's asked about things that grow,
Yasmin smiles because she knows.
She thinks of seeds, all hard and smooth,
and how they change and grow.
Plant a seed into the ground,
and watch it sprout from the mound.
First comes roots then come leaves,
and soon enough you'll see trees.
If you're lucky, flowers bloom,
and the air is filled with sweet perfume!
Isn't it amazing how things grow?
Some grow fast, some grow slow.
Some grow up and some grow WHOAH!
Come outdoors with our dear Yasmin,
and be amazed by how things grow!

ROMEO AND JULIET

by Singapore Dance Theatre

Synopsis

Singapore Dance Theatre will open the 2014 Season with one of the greatest love stories in the classical ballet repertoire - Romeo and Juliet. Inspired by Shakespeare's timeless classic tale of two lovers from two feuding families in Verona, Italy, this ballet features choreography by Singaporean master craftsman in dance, Goh Choo San, and is set to a powerful score by Sergei Prokofiev.

The ballet, set in Verona tells the story of the Capulets and the Montagues who are sworn enemies. A ball is held at the Capulets home that evening, and Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio decide to attend the ball, wearing masks. At the ball, Romeo and Juliet are brought together by Fate and they fall deeply in love. As the evening draws to a close, Juliet finds out that Romeo is the only son of her family's greatest enemy, the Montagues. Romeo sneaks into the Capulet's orchard later that night, and visits Juliet outside her balcony. They exchange vows of love and make plans to marry in secret.

Will the star-crossed lovers overcome all odds and live happily ever after? Or will their romance land them in a tragedy...

This classic tale of romance and passion is not to be missed!

by Singapore Symphony Orchestra

Synopsis

Jason Lai, conductor
Really Inventive Stuff

BRITTEN Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, Op. 34
POULENC L'histoire de Babar, le petit éléphant

Fusing the styles of Mary Poppins and Julia Childs, Britain's own Symphonia Semi d'Quaver, the internationally renowned "Orchestra-ologist" and devoted fan of composer Henry Purcell, narrates the classic Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra with wit and a wink.
